What was the last time you’ve read an article in a finance mag explicitly calling for shareholders to crash a stock? Not just reporting on business troubles, but begging shareholders to sell.

Indeed. Even Seeking Alpha doesn’t stoop that low. Or didn’t the last time I looked at it, years ago.

Chinese-owned Forbes is one of those publications that is a shadow of its former self. Forbes.com is NOT the same as the magazine. From Wikipedia.org

As of 2019 the company published 100 articles each day produced by 3,000 outside contributors who were paid little or nothing.[41] This business model, in place since 2010,[42] "changed their reputation from being a respectable business publication to a content farm", according to Damon Kiesow, the Knight Chair in digital editing and producing at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.[41] Similarly, Harvard University's Nieman Lab deemed Forbes "a platform for scams, grift, and bad journalism" as of 2022.[43]

Didn't that just happen in 2021 when on-line Reddit trader Keith Gill encouraged readers to "short squeeze" the Gamestop stock in order to run up the price and force hedgers to sell in a panic?

The SEC investigated Gill and concluded that he did not manipulate the market.
